rose-breasted grosbeak
The great day balances upon the leaves;
My ears still hear the bird when all is still;
My soul is still my soul, and still the Son,
And knowing this, I am not yet undone.
~Theodore Roethke in Infirmity
Welcome to Still Saturday where we pause after a busy week, move in quiet pilgrimage, maybe linger a while in some still place, and soak in the beauty of images and words. We’d love for you to join us. Get the details on the left, grab your favorite button, and link up below. We all love to hear if something especially speaks to your heart, but please don’t feel pressured to comment. Simply take some time to gaze long and drink deep
Stilled,
Sandy
Note: I found myself in the emergency room yesterday with a viral gastroenteritis. Thanks so much for your prayers and for your patience in the lateness of this post which I pulled from the archives.
I’ m sorry you are not well. I hope you will recover and be strengthened soon.
Thank you for sharing that poem. Beautiful.
Sandra- So sorry to hear you were in the ER! Praying for your recovery.
So sorry about your illness! I am praying even now that God will touch you and that you will be fully aware of his presence in the midst of this! Grace and peace!
Oh Sandy, poor you! Those viruses are the worst! I am praying that you are feeling better today. Rest, rest,rest, my friend. Love you.
I thought something must be wrong. You are always so faithful at having this linkup available. Prayed for you. Hope you’re feeling better.
Your post is nevertheless delightful. Listening to the recording, I was thinking it sounded *somewhat* familiar, then began to conclude it sounded like a robin with more to say. But “with singing lessons is better. Thanks for sharing this great spring fling thing!
Sandra, I hope you feel better soon!!! Take care of yourself.
The Lord’s healing Word upon you today in the blessing of Numbers 6:24 and truth of Galatians 3:13,14 , Sandy!
was not worried about the blog post – just you!
glad that you are home
Sandra, thanks for the stillness of your words. And will keep you in my prayers as you heal wholly.
Caring through Christ, ~ linda
Hi Sandra
Thank you for that quote! That stillness and peace of our Lord Jesus is just incredible!
Blessings to you
Bless you, Sandra. Praying for rest and restoration. xoxoxo
Loved the video and your photo this morning. Such a refreshing interlude.
I haven’t linked up with your Still Saturday posts for a while, although I’ve enjoyed viewing them. When I began feeling pressured to find just the right photo I had to back away for a bit. Sometimes life intervenes with other priorities.
You’ve been in my prayers and I hope you’re recovering quickly from this nasty virus thing.
Archives or not, just beautiful and so calming. Sad to hear you were in ER! Praying for you–peace, health, and abundance of life in our Savior. Thanks Sandra.
Thank you for the beautiful bird song, Sandra!
You’re in my prayers, I hope you will get better soon,
Nina
Sandy, you need to REST. Prayed for you last night when I popped on here and realized you had been quiet all week… that was too much stillness, even for you. Loved that little birdy video — tweet tweet. You outdid yourself with this one. Glad you pulled it up so that I could enjoy it.
Oh my goodness, how sweet is the sound of this bird!
I love the bird song, Cindee and the words. Hope you are getting better. Praying.
healing to you, Sandra!
rest and restoration blessings…
Praying for you to feel better soon! Thanks for the lovely post & for hosting & God bless!

Your posts always cause me to take pause…so beautiful. Hope you’re feeling better. Praying!
